There has always been an ongoing discussion amongst multiboxers on this forum about how they should conduct themselves when in the presence of the general public (e.g. normal uneducated players).

...etc...
I couldn't agree with this more. While I can see Mickthathick's PoV, I've also had that rising tension in between my shoulderblades for the past few years as I see more and more people come in with bigger and bigger teams and attitudes of "I'm so gonna rape faces all over the place /spit /cry /chicken /lol"

Is it any different than your regular BG kiddies? Fundamentally, no. But we already have a terrible reputation as far as a lot of people are concerned simply because they don't like multiboxing. Period. In some cases Bots are viewed in a higher regard than we are because at least they make for cheap crap on the AH. And bots aren't going to fall for troll-bait like we do, which combined with some of those bad attitudes makes for a very loud and public squabble. Especially when some people resort to obviously spiteful, vindictive and disruptive actions to "protest" changes they don't like in "The Name Of Multiboxing!!"

We've always treaded a thin line, our increased and/or enduring presence hasn't made that line any bigger. It's just given a bigger target for people to aim at.
